Invoices your clients can pay in one click
You can now get paid directly through TCB. Once you connect a Stripe account, every invoice you send by email includes a secure Pay now button — your client pays by card, and TCB records the payment automatically. No more chasing bank transfers or updating spreadsheets by hand.
The money is yours from the start: payments go to your own Stripe account, and you appear as the business your client is paying — not TCB.
How to set it up
Go to My Account → Getting Paid and find the Online Payments section.
Make sure your country is set in your Personal Information first — Stripe uses it as your payout country and locks it permanently once onboarding starts.
Click to connect: Stripe's onboarding opens, where you verify your identity and add the bank account for your payouts.
While Stripe verifies your details you may see a pending state — finish any remaining steps and you're live.
What your client experiences
Your client receives the invoice email as usual, now with a Pay now button. It opens a secure Stripe checkout in the invoice's currency. After paying, they land on a clean receipt page confirming the payment.
What happens in TCB when a client pays
The payment is recorded automatically against the project — no manual entry.
The invoice is marked as Paid.
If the project was still in Pipeline, it activates automatically — getting paid is the clearest signal the work is on. The same rules apply as when recording a payment manually; read Tracking payments and your finances for details.
Your wallet lives in Finances
Once connected, the Finances page includes your Stripe wallet: your current balance, your payouts (including a Pay out funds action), and the list of incoming payments — side by side with the payments you record manually, so Finances shows your complete money picture in one place.
Fees and manual payments
Stripe's standard payment processing fees apply to card transactions. And nothing changes if you prefer bank transfers — you can keep adding your bank details to invoices and recording payments manually. Online payment is an option, not a requirement.
